Since the night her dear uncle gave his life for hers, Hannah Young is determined to risk everything by spying for the Patriots in order to seek retribution against the British soldier who killed him. But when her former love, Joseph Wythe, insists on ensuring her safety, she must decide if the vengeance she seeks is worth the danger of his nearness. For the love she once felt is liable to grow deeper and more threatening to her heart than it ever was before.
Leaving his young ward to join the fight for liberty is the hardest thing Joseph Wythe has ever done. Nearly. The most difficult happened ten years past, which he tries his best to forget. Seeing Hannah Young again after all this time does something frightening and wonderful to his soul. Though her determination to spy for the Patriots is honorable and brave, he will never allow her to take such a risk without him to protect her, no matter how she protests—and no matter how he knows he will ache all the more for the thing he always wanted and still could never have.

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: So Pure a Heart
Book Author: Amber Lynn Perry
What do you like about this book:
"Whatever has happened between us, whatever has kept us apart, matters little when our hearts beat as one."
Incredibly romantic, the author of "So Pure a Heart" has skillfully tempered the realities of a brutal war for independence with the soft brush strokes of a love gone astray, only to be reunited under pretense and subterfuge. When Hannah Young and Joseph Wythe are paired to pose as cousins, sympathetic to the British cause, they embark on a treacherous path to freedom; using the strategic Eaton Hill estate and foundry, as a source for intelligence gathering.
Having been estranged for ten years following a youthful liaison, which drove Hannah to Eaton Hill and led Joseph to believe that she did not care for his company, the two slowly begin to make amends, digging deep underneath layers of misinformation, while cautiously allowing British officers to gain their trust. As their ploy becomes more and more dangerous, the one person who feels that he has the most to gain, may actually be the one who has the most to give.
This wonderful peek into our nation's tumultuous struggle for independence suggests characters such as these, who gave so much of themselves for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It was my pleasure to accept a copy of this book from the author, the opinions stated are entirely my own.
